Heard about the Winnebago driver who put on the cruise control so he can
go into the back and make a cup of coffee,  and then won a million bucks 
from  the manufacturer  when it crashed?  Of course  you have,  and it's 
a BOGUS story!  Heard about the old woman who sued  McDonalds  after she 
spilled hot coffee over herself?  Yes, that's a true story!  Her name is 
Stella Liebeck,  and now there's a book featuring  all similarly idiotic 
cases of libel! Order it from http://www.stellaawards.com/book.html.

Megalomaniac Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe is rather upset by his
travel ban to the European Union and the latest sanctions against his
"government" by the USA since his most recent rigged election.

So Bob decides to go and visit his n'anga (witch doctor).

He looks at the n'anga and says, "I want some muti that will tell me how 
to ensure my victory over the neo-colonialists and their deluded black 
lackey filthy columnists who think that because they are a majority they 
can vote for whom they like."

The n'anga says, "I am throwing the bones and the spirit of our 
ancestors was to be talking with me."

So Bob says, "How am I to determine the way forward in this, with the
various infrastructures and role players and stake holders who must 
conform to the greater government vision for the masses?"

The n'anga replies, "Comrade President, please be removing the trousers
and the underpants now."

Bob obliges.

"Now I am wanting you to place this mirror between your knees and go 
into a crouching position."

Bob obliges.

The n'anga asks, "And, looking in the mirror, what are you seeing?"

Bob replies, "I am seeing my arse."

And the n'anga says, "Get used to it, Comrade President!"
